SHP to KMZ Converter Online Guide

Convert zipped ESRI Shapefile data to KMZ or KML for Google Earth and web mapping review with CRS-aware browser processing.

What is Shapefile ZIP?

A shapefile dataset normally includes SHP, SHX, DBF and optionally PRJ files, usually delivered together as a ZIP file.

What is KMZ/KML?

KMZ/KML stores vector map features in WGS84 and is widely used for quick visual review, sharing and field coordination.

When to use this converter

Use this converter when GIS parcel, utility, road or boundary layers need to be shared as Google Earth overlays.

Supported geometry

Point, line and polygon shapefile features are converted where the uploaded ZIP includes the required shapefile components.

Coordinate systems

Select the source coordinate reference system before import. Google Earth KML/KMZ deliverables use WGS84 geographic coordinates, while DXF and survey files often use projected metre-based systems such as UTM or a national CRS.

Workflow

  1. Open the CRS selector and choose the source CRS.
  2. Import the Shapefile ZIP file using the page import button.
  3. Inspect features on the map and check the attribute preview.
  4. Choose the KMZ/KML export option and download the deliverable.

Common mistakes

FAQ

Should I zip all shapefile components?

Yes. Include SHP, SHX, DBF and PRJ files in one ZIP for reliable import and CRS detection.

Does KML preserve all DBF fields?

Important attributes can be carried, but KML presentation is simpler than a full GIS attribute table.

Why does the layer shift after export?

The most common cause is an absent or wrong PRJ/source CRS.
